Three of these games were NCAA Men's Basketball games between the visiting Notre Dam Fightin' Irish, and the Georgetown Hoyas. The other game was a WNBA... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~186253020804 Thu, 16 Jun 2005 17:16:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_186253020804?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_186248302212?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author becker40 - Alright, Christmas time was approaching and Alanis Morissette didn't have any new material to release. That is an easy enough problem to solve. She played MTV Unplugged and released it right as people were looking to unload some money.

Yes, it is a dumb comedy movie; however, it certainly hits hard on greed in the game. Set in Reagan-era America, the movie shows baseball as it was meant to be, fun.

The first is a love of history, and of the country. Te second reason is that at some point during the day you will be tired and need to sit down.

They cross the Delaware to fight the English. They free the slaves. They lead the country past the Nazis. They hit homeruns. Then there is a hero who sold porn magazines.

That being said, it is not a one-stop purchase if you want the complete story. The disk... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~186156748420 Wed, 15 Jun 2005 15:49:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_186156748420?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_186078498436?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author becker40 - I live in Central Pennsylvania. In this area we have several things about which the rest of the world needs to be aware. On the very top of that list should be the Jellybricks. The power-pop four-some does a fantastic job of mixing pop sensibility... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~186078498436 Tue, 14 Jun 2005 19:27:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_186078498436?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_186067291780?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author becker40 - It is hard to attempt to review a baseball card; however, the 1983 Topps Wade Boggs rookie card is a particularly fantastic item. There are several things about this card that make it a must-have. First of all, Wade Boggs will be inducted into the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~186067291780 Tue, 14 Jun 2005 17:09:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_186067291780?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_186058772100?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author becker40 - In my unique situation, I need a lot of pens. I have two jobs in which I work more than 20 hours a week. Both of these jobs require me to do a lot of writing. Not to mention work, I am also a full-time college student.

Jefferey Lebowski, aka "The Dude," is the unlikely....well....I don't want to call him a hero, because what is a hero, anyway.

The Sex Pistols album "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols" is the only punk album you need to own. This is the one true studio album from the band, and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~185979604612 Mon, 13 Jun 2005 17:00:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_185979604612?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_185972199044?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author becker40 - When thinking of Division I college football, many people will neglect to remember the Naval Academy Midshipment. If you are looking for a place to enjoy one of the greatest traditions in all of sports, you should not be one of these people.

This was while the sitcom "Cheers" was still on the air. The Bull and Finch served as the outside image of "Cheers" on the popular show. The place was packed.

Teams full of twenty-something year old kids getting paid to play baseball. It is a perfect life from all outward appearances.

I am one of those people. If you are a baseball fan, history buff, or anywhere in between; Boston is for you. The best aspects of Boston lie in history.

If you are a sports fan, you must read this book. If you follow politics, you must read this book. I, for better or for worse, love both.

A few months into dating my girlfriend, I took her to see "Fever Pitch." Call me a hopeless romantic if you must. This movie served two purposes.

This is an embarrasing statement to make.
